Default Chrome ?

Very possible that it is Siberian or Afgan Diopside or may be Chrome in it's raw state.

Thats a Subrien Fosfite Rebleacforshfere.

Those are a very rare metal that can only be found in one place and at 3,212$ an ounce (from the MeatlMatrialUSA-updated-site) it looks to me you have a 45,000 - 50,000 $ find.
Nice! i would have that be put in a safe right away and looked at !


haha(:

Sounds like nickel. Could be a meteorite.
